Executive Vice President Appointed

July 17, 2007

Dear Members of the Tufts Community:

I wanted to share with you some great news. After a national search conducted by Spencer Stuart, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has voted to appoint Patricia Campbell as Tufts' new Executive Vice President. Patricia was the Executive Administrative Dean at the Dental School for many years. Together with Dean Lonnie Norris, she greatly strengthened the school's academic and administrative programs while also building a solid financial foundation that supports the school today. She currently is the Vice President for Finance and Administration at WGBH, Boston's public broadcaster. Prior to coming to Tufts, she worked as the Deputy Commissioner for Mental Health for the State of New York where she oversaw a budget well in excess of $1B.

I am very excited about this appointment. Patricia brings a wonderful skill set to this important job coupled with a deep knowledge of Tufts. She is smart, strategic, thoughtful, honest, fair, tough (when she needs to be) and has great people skills. She knows Tufts, has an intimate knowledge of what it takes to make both a school and a university great, and has demonstrated her commitment to creating a diverse work environment where everyone is valued and where everyone can grow. She has been tremendously successful at WGBH where, among other things, she was instrumental in WGBH's construction and relocation to new studios in Brighton. As a WGBH trustee, I have witnessed her great work first hand. I am confident that she will be a worthy successor to Steve Manos. She will start in mid September. I hope you will all welcome Patricia as she returns to Tufts.

Best regards,
Larry
